I just built one for my 180 about 2 months ago. It came out really nice and am very happy with the design. I framed it in 2x4's and used birch plywood for facing and pine boards for trim. I sent you an email about getting together to get some corals when I get back from Vegas. I'm sure I could offer some advice on the stand.... Later, Brad... Hopefully I'll win a lot of Coral $$$$ Viva Las Vegas!!!!!

Yes it is sounding that way. Tell you what I am home on Saturday mornings except the 10th of may. I really do need help building this thing. A little impromptu swap is good for the soul. Some beer, power tools, corals...Why not. Is the 17 good?

All you need now is a Detroit Team in the Playoffs that is winning or better yet a tigers game that they actually win!

MAY17 IT IS if that works for will and HMTV!!We have Home Depot up the road. I have a circular saw. I have a 10 inch mitter also (I have never used it) We may need a few cordless drills tjhough. I also need to build a canopy for this monster. But if we can get the stand built then I can atleast go and get the tank. I realy appreciate this!
